About the ICARUS Project
ICARUS is a three-year (2010-2012) European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant funded by the European Commission under the umbrella of the 7th Framework Programme. ICARUS aims at producing an unprecedented analysis of energy-related innovation mechanisms.
The main goals of the project are: (1) collection of probabilistic information on the uncertain linkage between RD&D investments and particular improvements in science and technology by means of expert elicitation and analysis of historical data (2) assessment of the implications or benefits, of these improvements (e.g. economic, environmental, or security benefits); and (3) the application of decision-analytic frameworks for synthesizing (1) and (2) to inform decision makers.
